YUEL DUULHEIM

Of all the places Yuel's been to, rarely has it ever been Soul Society--at least, she's always had the least amount of memories pertinent to appearing in Soul Society. And yet, she's always been the most curious of this realm. Like something was waiting there for her, or that something within her yearned to go to Soul Society. But as the years went by, the opportunities to visit became more and more acute, especially since Soul Society was never necessarily a place one could just "visit" on a whim. Any time she appeared there, it was through the happenstance of her singularity disposition. Even then, it was always a brief appearance.

She assumed this was no different. Without even blinking, the scenery before Yuel became what seemed like an unfamiliar, yet homely setting. Traditional japanese-esque buildings ran astrew. From the girl's vast banks of knowledge, she knew exactly where she was: Seireitei. To some surprise, honestly. Though they were never known to have the most impressive defenses, there was some expectation that occurrences such as random appearances from foreign entities would be guarded against. Especially considering, as far as Yuel could tell, the area she popped up in was the First Division.

The girl held demeaning reservations towards the Gotei considering this circumstance, and in the coming war, if she could establish relations with the Gotei, then presuming they'd be an aid to the effort against Shadow Fall, she thought of extending a helping hand regarding defensive measures. Paltry felt like an understatement. Of course, this wasn't necessarily the case. Yuel couldn't know this, and likely most if not no other captains were aware, but Yuel's energy signature--minute as it was--was instantly sensed and approved; in fact, the signature was registered in the GRID prior to this occasion. The reason this might not be thoroughly known to others in control of the system was the same reason most people didn't know about the unspoken connection between Ibiki and Yuel.

What was also unknown to many, more specifically Yuel in this circumstance given her spiritual ineptitude and inability of sensing awareness, was that a towering presence made way towards her location with haste.

Family Reunion? [Private/Ibiki] 6EdIfMt

Artist: Cynic - Song: Consumed By Grace - Word Count: N/A

It was rather hard to take Ibiki by surprise when one came to the nest of her division. If someone found themselves venturing forth into the abyss of The First Squad, then they were already being monitored by the oversight of the Gotei due to the importance of The Captain Commander. To not keep track of their leader's security was one thing to never underestimate when it came to the current generation of shinigami who called this their faction home. Therefore, Yuel was under quite the close watch until Ibiki herself decided to make her appearance known to the woman.

With all of her goons called off from the Gotei, The Suika Devil sought to emerge from the shadows of a building nearby Yuel. Not being one to approach someone from behind, The Commander wanted to approach this visitor from ahead as that is how she confronted most of her problems. Therefore, The Duulheim would feel the eruption of a great warmth coursing across her tender skin. It was not one filled with oppression, but rather, comfort. Akin to the feeling of coming forth from a bitterly cold winter day to the embrace of a warm glow of fire from the fireplace.

Eyes as wide as mountains, the ginger drenched gaze of Ibiki pierced their illuminated stare upon the woman with a look of confusion. Of course, the GRID system anticipated this woman's arrival to the Gotei, but it was still a rather peculiar event to see transpire in reality. What possible business could Yuel have with the shinigami race, after all? Could there be something more grave behind the arrival of this woman? The Suika Devil didn't have those answers to her questions given just yet, so it was up to her to march down the path of enlightenment to dig deep into why her guest was here.

So, to open the waters, a small smile washed against The Horned Shinigami's face as she welcomed the woman with a sign of friendship. For in a matter of moments Ibiki had managed to produce a large-sized dish that was metallic in color within her right hand. When this saucer was forged into reality with her energy, she then summoned forth a great deal of sake into the plate as it came straight from a plum shaded gourd which resisted snuggly at the right hip of the commander.

When all this summoning business had finished up, Ibiki approached Yuel and offered her a drink as the woman seemed as stiff as a corpse with rigor mortis.

"Welcome to the First Division: take a seat, have a drink and rest your feet, friend."

With a small, but well-meaning laugh gave; The Menacing Devil embraced this woman and waited to see what her reaction would be as the two had finally coursed each others path to kick off this family reunion of sorts. What would come of this interaction was in the hands of fate, but Ibiki was eager enough to see what may breed from their talk.

Song: Evangelion X - By: Anonymuz - Word Count: N/A


To the point of being uncanny, a sudden warmth practically overwhelmed Yuel. What was particularly interesting was the level of comfort this warmth had, like being wrapped in a blanket next to a fire on a cold winter--which was weird, considering Yuel was really fond of colder weather, and thoroughly despised the battering heat of the summer sun. This warmth was rather uncharacteristic for her, but by no means unpleasant. The sudden introduction of heat was quickly followed by the appearance of a shorter than even Yuel--suspiciously from the shadows of a nearby building.

Now that was rare. Even after approaching adulthood, Yuel still seldom grew in stature; though many of her features matured over the years, rarely was it ever towards her height, therefore coming across someone shorter than her simply added to the girl's pleasant feelings. Not to say that being taller than someone made her feel superior, but it definitely put her in a good mood. For obvious reasons, Cirno suddenly came up in Yuel's mind, and she was suddenly reminded of the gfit the angel iramasha gave her. Even until now, the blonde was saving the magical dust for a desperate occasion.

That's... quite the powerful stare she's got. Though the warmth did much to make Yuel feel at ease, the intensity of this newcomer's gaze was a bit off-putting... but, familiar? Odd. Well, not really; there's been too many times to count now since Yuel's come across someone she should know, but in thanks to her unique "disposition", couldn't recall. Memories were a fickle thing, weren't they?

"Uhmm, h-hello? Pardon the intrUSION?!"

Yuel's words were abruptly interrupted by the totally unforeseen circumstances of a disproportionately large dish appearing from thin air. It was an especially incongruent site to see this small horned woman summon a such a large dish, and even more of a fright for them to pour what very clearly smelled like sake into it, and beyond that offered it with some welcoming words. It was so unexpected, Yuel was frozen with astonishment and confusion. Especially because Yuel never really drank, but the flow of the situation swept her up into accepting the offer, since it seemed rude to refuse? After all, Yuel was the one intruding on the property.

"U-uh, w-well then excuse me??"

Without really thinking about it, the Duulheim took a sip from the dish, her eyes squinting in disgust from the bitterness. Alcohol was truly an unpleasant drink, and this one seemed especially potent. Enough that the comfortable warmth from before raised in heat, the sake permeating throughout Yuel's body. At the same time, this extremely friendly girl embraced Yuel, the situation too awkward for her to not reciprocate the pleasantries. Thus, still confused from how fast things were progressing, the young girl simply hugged back with a nervous nod.

"A-ahh...? Yes? Thank you?"

With Yuel just assenting to everything this little horned devil suggested, in the meanwhile the sake--presumably dense with spiritual energy--made its way throughout Yuel's systems, the spiritual energy resonating with the tattoos on her body and served to raise Yuel's spiritual pressure to a now barely spiritually aware level. Of course, this would be temporary, and once the sake ran its course and the spiritual energy was expended, Yuel would probably go back to being spiritually inept, but that one sip began to faintly build her energy reserves. Enough that others would be able to sense her, and more importantly, that slight bit of oni-lineage deep within the recesses of her reserves began to shine a bit, enough for Ibiki to get just a hint.

Well -- that was certainly a reaction.

Observing the changes in the woman after ingesting her wonderful elixir of joy showed that there was a high amount of skittish nature still bouncing around within the depths of that body of hers. It was shown by the way her voice stuttered, body movements were frantic and unleashing of a faint spiritual energy. In fact, if Ibiki didn't know any better, it felt almost devil like in the sense that it radiated a presence akin to a Suika. However, she didn't have much knowledge of a Suika like this and it seemed to confuse her more than anything else.

So, rather than stay in the land of the unknown, she pushed this conversation forward to get to the bottom of her mysteries now that the pleasantries were out of the way.


"You are very much welcome, Miss Yuel."

With a pause given, Ibiki grabbed her plum gourd, took a swig of her own homemade alcohol and decided to get down to the nitty-gritty of this meeting since things were seeming off with whatever energy she sensed emitting out of the woman before her.

"Tell me, though, what exactly brings you to the Gotei? I wouldn't imagine we have much to offer you; outside of a good time if you REALLY wanted that."

And true enough, Ibiki believed that the Gotei had more than enough resources to throw around a party or something to that effect. She certainly was no Yamamoto and didn't even try to measure up to how he operated things. If her men were able to execute on the demands and goals she set forth, why not reward them with something nice every now and again? Rather than mull in his failures, people have more incentive to execute your wishes with gifts, favors, rewards and other things as it's only within human nature.

Thus, to that end, Ibiki rose her eyebrow and cracked a quick question:


"Are you just ditching your own work to sneak a drink or two with me? I see what you are up to and it's quite sneaky~ Heh-heh-heh."

Now that she thought about it, Yuel never mentioned her name. But this girl knew her? That's... strange. Actually, no maybe not. Again, there's been plenty of times where Yuel was reunited with someone she couldn't remember. Thankfully, this didn't seem as awkward as those times; actually, this didn't seem like one of those times at all. Now that she recalled, the horned girl approached her in a way that suggests she didn't know her personally. So, they didn't know Yuel personally, if her guess was right, but knew of her. Maybe it was because of her time working with the Vanguard and Yayjuu? It's unexpected that her name was known by someone in the Gotei's 1st division... speaking of, this girl knew Yuel--but who was she? As per the usual, the introduction of curiosity in a circumstance served to overwhelm any other feelings Yuel was having at the time, instead honing her focus on what immediately interested her.

"If you don't mind letting me know, how do you know me? Also, might I know who you are, friend? I feel like we've met before."

It was earnest curiosity, no particular agenda hidden in these words, and the starry bright yellow eyes of innocent interest on Yuel's face clearly conveyed this. The Duulheim offered this inquiry of pure curiosity whilst the ginger girl took a swig of her own--rather, can that even be considered a swig? Yuel was honestly impressed with how smoothly the shinigami gulped down her sake. Is this what it means to be a grown woman? Yuel still has plenty of room to grow, it seems.

"Ah, what brings me to the Seireitei? Um... To be honest, I'm not quite sure? I kind of just appeared here, really. Though, I've always wanted to visit and explore. I've always felt some sort of longing, if you know what I mean? Like something in my soul gravitated towards this realm. It's the first time I've been this deep into Soul Society, though."

It was common for Yuel to quickly switch in demeanor, and this time around, pondering over the reason she came to Soul Society, and now confronting this faint 'desire' to come to this realm, the girl put up a solemn expression. Through and through, Yuel was always one to wear her heart on her sleeve. This bit of introspection would be interrupted by the oddly pleasant abrasiveness of this horned shinigami. The joke of abandoning work and go all the way to soul society just to hang out, it seemed so extravagant and ridiculous, but, was it weird to think that it also felt so natural? The feeling of familiarity with this girl, how curious.

"Wha--no, no, of course not! I'm, i'm a very studious worker! I think!"

Now that she thought about it... was she? Yuel definitely put her all into her work, and it was very rewarding to complete her goals and reach her milestones, but now that she thought about it, the blonde often prioritised her own projects over the tasks Shadin set out for her. And, with this random teleporting disposition of hers, consistency was without a doubt not in her repertoire. Ugh...

"Er, if you wouldn't mind?"

Yuel reached for the shinigami's sake disk and, if she had the permission, took another bitter sip, the warmth of alcohol running through her body, and the energy reserves raising once more. That tinge of "oni spirit" raised another level.

"Well, I was aware of your arrival since The Gotei already confirmed your identity when you interfaced with the GRID System."

After taking another hard chug of her booze, the Suika Devil spoke in a "matter of fact" type of tone. When she relished the sweet taste of alcohol entering her body, Ibiki let out a content sigh of relief before carrying on with the conversation with a coy smirk.

"So, my men put two and two together since your name had been ran through our database, your connection to Shadin came up and here we are sharing drinks as you play hooky from The Albino."

There was then a snicker which followed up with Ibiki's words as she seemed in rather a mischevious mood. Of course, that didn't mean she wasn't paying attention to Yuel, either. In fact, there was a lot to be learned about a person by observing them and letting them carry the conversation. She could see in full display the scatterbrained nature of the woman as she scrambled from thought to thought. It made The Suika believe that something was way off with this woman. No one comes to the Soul Society, much less the Gotei itself, without having an understanding of why and when they got here.

No.

Something was very off.

Putting together the fact that she felt a similar sense of Suika blood within the woman when her sake passed through Yuel's body, the realization that she was in search of something in the Soul Society and the urge to be around The Captain Commander; it was apparent there was something inside of the woman's body that warranted exploration. Maybe she was being paranoid, but there are so many warning signals being ignited from this encounter that Ibiki would feel like a fool not to investigate things further.

"If you came to the Soul Society of all places it means that your soul is in search of something to complete you. I don't believe in random encounters when we live in a world that is founded on the very principle of the supernatural being possible."

With a nod of the head, Ibiki then pulled out her gourd, poured more sake in the dish of Yuel and handed it back to her as she held her amber-lit gaze on the woman before deciding to push the subject further of her origins.

"Tell me: would you feel offended if I took a sample of your energy? Call me paranoid, but there is a theory I want to test and I have a feeling those in the research department can confirm it."

There was then a nod of her head as she motioned for Yuel to hold out her arm so that she could extract some kind of DNA or energy away from her body while she could feel this spiritual presence within the woman's body.

"I have a feeling your body is in search of something, and while I'm not certain of what, I do know that I felt something in your energy which resonated a faint energy signature that only those in my family possess. So I'm curious to find out why you would have such a thing inside of your body to satisfy my own curiosity."

yo dawg you should play the music it's pree good


Song: Rare - By: I Am Setsuna OST - Word Count: N/A



"So you guys did know I was here! Good, I was underestimating your defenses a bit, in all honesty--though I still think you guys could do more than just a notification system. No worries~, I'm sure Shadin won't mind if I work on some projects to help you guys out there."

Despite her brazen words, Yuel was still speaking with earnest intentions, and normally even the usually crass human wouldn't be as blunt as this, but for obvious reasons, the girl that never drank alcohol before seemed to have a low tolerance to its inhibiting effects. It hadn't been long since she took her few sips, but already it seemed to be affecting her. Which is also why her more amiable tendencies and inclination to solve her problems with progressive solutions--such as suggesting making something for the Gotei's defenses which she still definitely underestimated--came out so quickly. Yuel treated the inevitably threats with some seriousness, after all, and Soul Society was sure to become a target. For unknown reasons, the blonde felt some sort of need to protect it, a feeling yet to be explored in light of having rarely ever been in this realm.

"Hmm~? Hooky? Haha, no-no, I really di--*burp*--did come here on accident, though I'm sure old-man Shadin wouldn't mind me missing for a little bit, ehehe~~."

As Yuel's speech began to slur--though still clearly spoken and understood--she reached for the horned woman's sake disk, once more pleading with her eyes to have another taste. The effects of the alcohol also served to damper the girl's tastebuds, or at least the memory of how bitter the sake tasted, such that she seemed more eager to have another sip. Unsurprisingly, Yuel evidently really liked the experience of drinking. In a way, it made her feel a bit more unhinged, optimistically speaking.

"Ehhh, really? Me too~! There's never a coincidence in the world. Everything happens for a reason, I think. Not because of fate, or something silly like that; I'm a woman of science! I call it probability and causality~!"

Yuel pumped her fist in the air with a triumphant, proud pose in response to the ginger's comment about not believing in random encounters. The Duulheim truly did believe that in a world as vast and spiritually influenced as theirs, a coincidence was just lazy thinking and excuses. That was something only someone like James Caldwell would believe.

"Ne, ne, you and I, we sure do think alike, huh? Great minds, and all that--fufufufu~. Speaking of, you never did introduce yourself; I'd do one myself, but it seems you already know me, ehe~."

Evidently, Yuel was in a really good mood. Maybe it was the atmosphere, and the alcohol was definitely a massive factor, but the longing to be in Soul Society was real. She didn't realise it until she finally came here, but Yuel really was excited to learn about the realm. Maybe this little horned girl was right--something in Soul Society was waiting for her, and it would serve to complete her. That'd surely be an extravagant story; already, Yuel was thinking of how she might tell this story to Shadin and her mates back in Karakura. Of course, Yuel didn't miss the shinigami attentively scanning her all the while, but the girl wrote it off as them being precautionary. Which, in a way, served to improve her impression of the organisation, that even in what she perceived to be a jolly atmosphere, they were still astute.

"Err, my energy? Mmm... sure? I don't have much to spare, me being as weak as I am and all, but if you can manage to sample it, go ahead."

Speaking of her weakness, that sense of powerless, was a bit of a sensitive subject for Yuel, especially when it came to her energy levels. Though she's more or less decided on improving herself through machinery and equipment than spiritual growth, the girl still yearned to attain some sort of superlative power. The initial feeling of wonder and glee when she first saw Azure demonstrate his awesome powers lit a burning desire in her heart, and knowing that desire wouldn't be realised offered some pain. Thus, despite her jolly temperament, this sudden change in subject served to put her in a bit more of a solemn mood, her more serious speech pattern reflecting this.

"Mm, I don't think you'll get much from it, though; I have this thing that I call the 'Keter Particle', a sort of metaphysical particle embedded into my entire being. It makes it really difficult to gather any data from analysing my body or soul. I believe it's one of the core reasons I have moments like this, where I suddenly appear in Soul Society. Though I'm glad about it this time around, most of the time it's a bit of an inconvenience, in a lot of ways."

Family Reunion? [Private/Ibiki] 6EdIfMt

Artist: TOUHOU - Song: Lunatic Eyes - Word Count: N/A

"You will have to talk to our research department if ya are looking to make any changes."

Really, the way in which Yuel spoke didn't appear to rub Ibiki the wrong way. As far as she was concerned with her leadership, the more people that were willing to invest themselves into her project, the better off the Gotei will inevitably be. There was no sense of closed borders in the way in which The Devil Suika lead the Gotei. As it is this openness to feedback, suggestions, and ideas which allowed her to be a brilliant leader as she could take the resources of many and turn them into tools for the betterment of their society as a whole.

Alas, though, that wasn't the point of this conversation, was it? To go down the rabbit hole of Ibiki's mind would be a detour which could take all day. No. What was more interesting had been the observation of Yuel's own behaviors as the devil's booze started acting as truth serum to get the woman to open up her true self to the horned shinigami before her. Since her body loosened, her tongue slipped and the carefree nature of the woman arose to show that she was indeed not a threat to the security of the Soul Society for the time being. Therefore, she saw fit to carry on with the conversation:

"Fate can come in many forms. Casualty, probability, luck, destiny; whatever people wish to call it does not change the effect that life has many paths which interconnect with one another and lead others to where they need to be at just the right time."

After taking another chug of her good ol' gourd, Ibiki let the taste of sweet booze enter into her tastebuds once more before deciding to answer Yuel by properly introducing herself. It was rather rude of her to forget the whole pleasantries aspect of greeting people, but it was apparent enough that even Ibiki had her scatterbrained moments just as Yuel had. The only difference is that she is better at hiding it and skimming over it. Since, when The Devil Commander slipped up and made a mistake, she never dwelled on it and accepted it for what it was.

"Oooohhhh~? You don't know who I am? Well, let me introduce myself: I'm Ibiki Suika, Captain Commander of The Gotei, head Kenpachi and proud Suika tribe member. It's a pleasure to meet ya, Miss Yuel Hooky Pants."

There was quite a bit of playful nature drenched in the relaxed words which Ibiki spat out at Yuel. Despite the layers of unknown covered around this woman and this circumstance, many people walking by may have mistaken them for good friends given the atmosphere which the two emitted from their engagement with one another. Granted, things were about to get a bit more serious, but Ibiki still took it nice and easy as she started to extract her energy from out of Yuel. This was done by having the sake which was enriched with Ibiki's reishi begin to assemble small traces of blood and saliva to intermix into a small ball which held Yuel's fading energy together under the protection of Ibiki's more resolute and spiritually sound energy.

In this way, she'd see a small mist of orange energy beginning to come out of her nose as Ibiki motioned for someone from her division to come over, transport the material and give it straight to the Research Department. Being that there were many devices that the Gotei had, all the silver haired male had to do was take the Captain's orders, drop off the material at a teleportation dump and the results could be shared across the grid network, given to Ibiki and she'd have her answer soon enough.

"Oh, I'm sure there would be errors when trying to find the mysteries of a persons body. There are many different types of bodies which exist in this vast world of ours and we can't hope to have a perfect inspection of everyone. However, that's not what I'm intending to do with the samples I collected."

With a hard swig of her sake dish, Ibiki sat down on the floor, laid her feet out and took a content sigh before going on.

"What I'm planning to do is to take your body samples, run them against the database of Suika, including myself, and see if anything runs a match. If it turns out there are some similiarties, we might actually be relatives or something. Which is bizzare enough, but explains why fate drew the two of us together."

Once that bombshell of information was doused on the conversation, The Devil Suika then held her amber stare back at Yuel before the teenage youth, looking no older than 18, came back and whispered in the ear of Ibiki as he took occassional glances with his grey eyes back at the unknown woman before his Captain Commander. With an amused smirk, Ibiki chuckled and motioned for the male to go away back into the abyss so that she could handle everything she had learned from him for herself.

"Well, a little birdie just told me.....you are my relative. You have Suika blood in you......."

And with that, Ibiki let out a laugh before letting that sink in the atmosphere and asking this simple question to Yuel:

"....so how do we both move forward from here, hm?"

"Just a few changes, that's all, mostly additions but they should all be improvements!"


Telling Yuel to ask the research department was like telling her to "go ahead"; as far as Yuel was concerned, this was permission, and immediately she felt rejuvenated. Though the girl wondered on what authority the girl was speaking at, she placed some faith in what she said, and--though cocky--Yuel felt absolutely confident that they'd take her offer to help out. Free help from an ally is free help, after all; maybe if it were someone else, they might have some ulterior motives to be so hands-on with helping the Gotei develop and improve their defenses, but this was Yuel Duulheim.

In spite of her earlier gleeful tone at the mention of their research department, Yuel was quick as ever to switch speaking patterns, especially with the discussion of different topics. She used different manners of speech to most appropriately suit the tone of the discussion, with something like "fate" and its origins being a serious enough subject to speak more enunciated and firmly. Which was odd, considering this implied a level of implicit understanding towards the flow of a conversation, and in spite of that Yuel constantly did things her own way, in her own flow, and seemingly without consideration for her conversational partner a lot of the time.

"No-no, I'm a firm believer of logic and reason. Fate has this intonation of mysticism, and as far as I'm concerned is the poor man's lazy alternative to causality and probability. Those that believe their destiny is dictated by some higher power has also assented all control over their path in life, and that's a despicable thing. Pull up your bootstraps, common man! The future is seized through competence, effort, and opportunity!"

Yuel raised her chin up proudly, confident in the reasoning of her words. She may not be fully grown, but the girl certainly thought her beliefs were wise beyond her years. That raised chin only leveled once Ibiki mentioned her name. Rather, the fact that she was the Captain Commander of the Gotei and head of the Suika; the horned ginger never mentioned her given name, but just as Ibiki could discern who Yuel was, Yuel put two and two together and finally recognised the woman. Now she knew why this woman talked about having "her goons do this and that" and generally spoke with a sense of authority. Such that, now knowing who she was talking to, Yuel quickly offered a more formal greeting, a tinge of nervousness in hand. She did a deep and respectful bow having now come to the realisation of their difference in status.

"O-ou, m-moshi moshi, Suika-dono thank you for having memynameisYuelDuulheimoftheYayjuu."

That same nervousness--and Yuel's natural idiosyncrasies and peculiar sense of vocabulary--served to botch her introduction, failing to use proper greeting words, odd honorifics, and at the end trail off her voice whilst speaking faster and rushing to the end. Only then did the girl remember that it was the Captain Commander who gave her permission to visit the Research Department of the Gotei, and with this in mind she felt there was total allowance to work with them, not just "visit". With this realisation, Yuel sprung her body up to a proper stature, that air of nervousness completely gone from her body. What was replaced was an aura of jubilation as Yuel's future prospects seemed bright. With this, Yuel had access to the research departments of three different organisations. Just the thought of all the possibilities had her nearly salivating.

"Thank you very much, Suika-dono! This Hooky Pa--Duulheim surely won't disappoint any expectations!"

Yuel offered another bow in thanks, this one quick and excited. Excited enough for the girl to not realise Ibiki extracting some energy from her, though even if she focused Yuel wouldn't recognise this interaction; she was basically spiritually powerless, after all. Only when her bow completed and she picked her head up did Yuel notice the orange mists, questions forming in her mind that through some deductions she quickly answered herself. Not wanting to interfere with the process, and also having the itching desire to sneeze, Yuel held herself still and waited to provide a resounding "HACHUU!" after all the mist exited her nose.

"Mmm, I bent by body ithn't qui--*sniffle*--buuh, I meant my body isn't quite 'unique' so much as enigmatic. There's something in it that--"

Yuel paused to take note that Ibiki was getting more comfortable and followed suit, sitting on the floor just beside the shinigami with her legs apple-sauce crossed. The girl took a seat and remembered the gourd she always kept on her hip that her grandmother gifted her. This thought was accompanied by the sudden transition of Yuel's appearance to her younger years, which offered a striking resemblance to Ibiki in many ways. From their rather wild vibrant yellow-orange hair, diminutive stature, or even their gourds. Though she never really established why, the Duulheim was always fond of this appearance, her messy relaxed kimono, tiger skin, and gourd on hip; none of it ever seemed to have significant meaning, but the girl thought this attire was "cool". Unfortunately, as Yuel rose in position and status, the need to look more professional came about, so outside of in the comfort of her own home, there wasn't many opportunities for her to wear this.

"does things like this. It's not a stable interaction, and presumably not controllable. I'm sort of like a singularity in space-time; it's hard to explain, honestly."

This sudden change of appearance was naturally due to the Keter Particle and its tendency to have Yuel travel throughout time and space, and on occasion switch her body at a given time with a body of hers from the past, future, or alternative present. It was a frequent enough circumstance that, provided no memories of her changed or none of these changes interfered with what she was doing, Yuel just ignored the changes. In the process, due to having switched bodies the alcohol and latent spiritual energy faded away, hence her speech pattern now more clear and enunciated. Furthermore, when she heard Ibiki suggest their relation, the much more aware Yuel offered a look that harbored doubt, but deep curiosity as to what could've put the Suika under this impression.

"Again, I'm not really too fond of using the term "fate"; even if we were sisters, I'm sure there'd be something more than just "it was meant to be" that might've drawn us together; nonetheless, what makes you think we could be related?"

Having mentioned their relation, Yuel started considering all these physical similarities the two had, and maybe some other commonalities they had on other matters. Yuel's physical appearance offered a striking resemblance to Ibiki's sister from her youth--the one always incubated in the labs of the Research Department for reasons her parents may or may not have discussed with her. It was around the time Ibiki was probably just barely a toddler, the growing body hooked up to various equipments and tubes, suggesting that the machinery was her lifeline. Ibiki might've started to remember these times, and since becoming a captain and further ascending in status and position, the Suika may have further looked into the matters of the sister she would never grow up with.

Thus, once the grey-eyed youth left and Ibiki spoke up with confirmation on this, Yuel's eyes widened in confusion, though not necessarily surprise.

"Uh, I'm not quite sure how that's possible, though? I'm definitely human, through and through, born to a human male and human female, with human parents of their own. As for how we... move forward from here?"

Yuel paused for a moment, thinking of what was to happen next; usually, she'd prefer to try and establish the fact when faced with a predicament, but this wasn't necessarily a predicament? It could be, though; there are a lot of implications and things to discuss with this sort of thing established. Enough that, though Yuel continued to unceasingly make calculations, her sober mind started looking for external methods. Like getting drunk again.

"I guess we could start with some more sake? And questions, ask a lot of questions."

Family Reunion? [Private/Ibiki] 6EdIfMt

Artist: FrostFM - Song: Memory Chains - Word Count: N/A

Science had its benefits in the mind of Ibiki. It allowed for the development of many miracles in the world to exist when it came to the advancements in medical technology, military might, modern conveniences and many other facets of the future that most take for granted. Yet, at the same time, this was a world which was also filled with supernatural, mystical and magical properties. To ignore those facets of this existence is not to attain a true grasp of this world in the mind of The Captain Commander and she'd vocalize this point quite well.

"Mysticism in a world which is filled to the brim with supernatural occurrences isn't too far off base. This is an existence where both the wonders of magic and science become one, friend. While I wholeheartedly agree one should always take direct action as opposed to waiting for external forces to do the job for them, the belief in faith and fate does help to air the winds of probability on your side when many beings in this existence find their flame of power comes from the sentiment and purpose they stand for in this life."

After having expressed what she perceived to be valid points in this exchange of ideals, Ibiki decided to have another quick sip of her sake to indulge in its sweet contents while passing the time for the results of the DNA test on Yuel to come through by the research department. Though, following her taking a passing glance at Yuel, the woman seemed to have shifted her appearance. The Menacing Devil Girl wasn't surprised by this, but she figured her existence wasn't tethered to well to this realm or that she had little control over her powers for sudden shifts like that to be occurring.

In either case, the woman seemed to look more akin to Ibiki herself in the appearance that she took. So this meant that her instincts were closer to base than she once thought as The Suika Girl assumed that this was perhaps one of the forms a previous incarnation of Yuel took when getting in touch with her primal instincts. The Devil Shinigami didn't pretend to understand all the in's and out's of how the woman's body worked, but she felt her grasp, insights and overall estimates were close enough in their direction that this encounter could develop into something more with how things were turning out.

"At any rate, you should go ahead and relax with your words. I could barely understand what you said there, but it's a pleasure to meet you, Yuel."

Once that ginger laugh left the lips of Ibiki, the amber-lit eyes of The Devil Shinigami kept their focus on Yuel. Some of the words in which the woman spoke weren't too important to the perception of The Captain Commander, but what stood out did happen to be the question of what it is Ibiki sensed in the scattered existence of The Beast Of Time to make her want to invest this time in her. So, The Devil Suika took a pause; ensuring to take a prolonged moment to savor the now cherry flavor her sake. (Ibiki is a gal who likes shifting taste, go figure.) Then, when she was ready, Ibiki decided to give Yuel the answers she sought.

"All Suika have a sense of familiarity in them. Perhaps it's my absurdly keen senses after having attained as much power as I have, but I can pick up on the faint traces of that familiar energy signature in you. I cannot explain why humans would have mated with shinigami, but I can assure you that it's not out of the realm of possibility for those in my family to have mated with other species. I can only assume that this event took place and your blood got dilluded along the way."

And, as if on cue, the winds of fate brought an alert to both of the women in this room after Ibiki had finished uttering her suspicions to Yuel. In the form of a blue holographic image, the results of Yuel's test came in and there were enough trace remains in her extract to indicate that there was a high probablity of The Beast Of Time being related to the Suika Tribe. As her blood did test positive for remnants of Suika DNA in it.

Thus, when this information spread itself to both women by means of the research department typign up their results for both to see, The Devil Suika could only let out a small laugh at how fate seemed to work in her favor.

"Fate is at work again, don't you think....?"

Ibiki posed this question out to Yuel as she was waiting to see her reaction and see how she should proceed with this meeting after gauging the reaction that The Beast Of Time would give to the results.
